Roughly 80% of world trade is done overseas; with so many materials being transported, maritime port security is very important. Visual security with use of surveillance systems is a must.


Pros of Video Surveillance at Maritime Ports

Millions of items move through national ports each year. Cameras can greatly increase the security of these units.

  • Cruise Ship Safety � Using cameras in public spaces of the cruise ship and near cargo can greatly increase the safety of those on board to help prevent a problem from developing.

  • Theft Prevention � With so many goods being transported, theft is an unfortunate consequence. Cameras can detect any suspicious activity to prevent something being stolen.

  • Efficiency � With surveillance cameras in place, the flow of trade can be increased.


    • Risks of Surveillance at Maritime Ports

    Vandalism � Backup cameras and equipment including wiring can be useful in the event that a camera is damaged and a signal is lost.


    Consider the following factors for your maritime port surveillance system

  • What size is the port?
  • What areas are most at risk?
  • What types of goods are moving through the port?
  • What security measures are already in place to protect cargo?
  • Are there other ships stationed at the port?
  • Has theft or vandalism been a big concern?


    • Tips for Setting Up Surveillance at Martime Ports

  • Focus on areas where loading takes place to monitor cargo traffic. Also care for areas where cargo may be especially susceptible to theft.
  • If there are other ships in the port, use cameras to help prevent trespassing.
